The id references are resolved in the tree to which a node belongs. In
your example sbu1 and sbu2 belong to the doc tree. But your sbu_new
doesn't belong to any bigger tree so the reference cannot be resolved.
If you add sbu_new to the doc tree, then the references will resolve.
You can also "fake" a node as belonging to a tree by setting its
container node, for example:

sbu_new._container (&doc);
